Abstract
Diabetics are a highly comorbid population with an elevated risk profile when undergoing surgery. Proper preparation and management of modifiable risk factors can optimize outcomes in diabetics. A multidisciplinary approach to preoperative optimization, including surgeons, primary care providers, and anesthesiologists, ensures diabetic patients receive comprehensive evaluation before elective surgery. Orthopedic surgeons must understand preoperative optimization goals as they pertain to nutrition, glycemic control, and cardiovascular disease in diabetic patients.
